What Our Clients Are Saying…

“

I have never seen a guide work so hard, be in 4 places at once, and remain so low key and calm. Whether you are in a group of 4 or a group of two, Tad seems to be there for you at all of the right moments to help with the rig, fighting the fish or just being ready with the net and the camera. Fishing with Tad is more than hunting the fish. Its every bit as much a guided tour of the Alaska wilderness and temperate rain forest. I don’t believe National Geographic could do a better job. This is my 4th year and 7th trip with Tad. Steelhead in May and Silvers in September. I cannot wait to go back.

Spectacular...

“

I've been fishing with Tad for four years and come back every year for a couple trips. His knowledge of the area and fish along with technical expertise make every trip spectacular. I highly recommend a single trip to test the waters only if you understand that you will be "hooked" for life.

It's the Pinnacle of Fly Fishing!

The day started slow for Dolly Varden and then traveled to another river that produced large numbers and fish up to 3lbs. Great fighters and loads of fun on a system five. Various patterns were successful mimicking small smolts. Lunch was terrific. The following day produced the same results with one guest moving only three feet all day with the exception of s break for lunch. I lost count on the numbers caught and released. Lunch was wonderful and I have had highly successful trips with Classic Casting Adventures for many years. Caught my first Salmon and first King on a fly rod with Tad's guidance!

Let me start by saying that Tad is a great guide with a ton of knowledge (he has a fisheries degree!) on the fish, flora and fauna of Sitka, AK. We went on a floatplane out to Lake Eva where there were four of us in my group. Three of us fished with lures while my dad fly fished. Tad gave us great instructions, helped us all catch and land our fish, and showed us some of the best fishing areas on the creek. He even had the time and patience to show my mom (who hasn't fished in years) how to fly fish with an extra rod he brought. Lunch was great too!! Overall, this was the most memorable highlight of our week in Sitka and I would definitely recommend Tad and Classic Casting Adventures to any friends that visited Sitka in the future.
